Artist's Comments
Hand carved 'old man of the wood' out of random hardwood kindling.
It's been murder trying to get a good piccie of this thanks to an over-dark finish (indian rosewood stain, gloss varnish) ... I can help thinking that I should have sanded a bit of the stain to highlight the detail a bit better. The hair is leaves, the skull cap has a rudimentary celtic design on it and the rest is as it looks. |

It was once told in Symmyrnea... That whoever would talk to pine barks in the forest,write the mystery on the sea with ancient woods and take those faces to the isolated rocks on an island, would find the road to OEGGEM. And...(the end is the beginning)

As a carver for many years, I admire your choice of wood (random hardwood kindling). Many of the pieces I've carved were 'found' items (roots, deadfall scraps, broken shovel handles, etc.).
Keep up the great work!

The skull images are quite fantastic, I particularly like the larger one - nice imagery. I was going to leave a wee comment but my wee boy was pestering me ... he's quite the fan of the bull's head you've got in your gallery
I must have missed your other carvings first time through your gallery though, but I really like the carved hammer ... good work!
